The Byron Star Field is a remote star field on the outskirts of the Pan God System. It is composed of 23 planets with harsh environments. Normal species cannot survive in this star field. To be precise, it was abandoned by the Frogman Kingdom.
"Junkyard".
But for the steel-maned people, this is undoubtedly a livable place, because the steel-maned people can adapt to almost any environment.
The dilapidated spacecraft staggered towards the Byron 20 star, and Din Meng was also observing this unique planet through the light curtain.
Star No. 20 is a bit like Star Baigu of the Holy Federation. From a high altitude, the land is completely desert and Gobi terrain. Not to mention any living things, there is not even vegetation. It is really terrifyingly desolate.
But in the depths of the desert, there are many small "towns" scattered here and there. The so-called "towns" are considered to be "villages" in the federal empire, and the Steel Mane people live in these villages.
middle.
The village is also very peculiar. It is not made of ordinary building materials such as ordinary wood, steel, and crystal plates, but is purely made of a black ancient metal. If it can be described, these villages are like crashed ships.
The wreckage of the battleship is embedded on the ground. The buildings on the ground are completely made of "building blocks" stacked together, making it a large black area. There are also buildings underground. Overall, it can be said in one word: "black!"
Xiao Ai immediately analyzed the data: "The nearest Lieyang star is 12 billion kilometers away from here. The sunshine is very scarce, there is almost no daytime, the temperature remains at minus 35 degrees all year round, and there is a strange magnetic field in these villages. It should be
It’s this black metal that’s produced…”
Ding Meng is also reading the information in the database. The data shows that the Steel Mane Empire also fled from outer space four years ago. When it was transferred to the Byron Star Domain, it only had an interstellar fleet of less than 10 ships.
Upon arrival, they were surrounded by the cruise fleet of the Frogman Nation, and then made an emergency landing on the Byron Star. After routine inspections and searches, the senior management of the Frogman Nation allowed the Steel Mane to be stationed in the Byron Star Domain, provided that they were not allowed to do so without permission.
Entering the territory of Frogman Country.
It’s not that the Frogman Country is friendly to the Steel-maned People, but that the Frogman Country is very interested in the Steel-maned People’s genetic structure and some strange racial technologies, such as the body structure. From the perspective of the Federation Empire, the Frog People
Soldiers are actually half-mechanical, half-physical re-engineered warriors. The problem lies in the word "re-engineered". After all, they are transformed.
One advantage of this kind of transformation is that as long as the frogs' bodies are not completely destroyed, they can continue to install various alloy machines on them. Even if half of their heads are left, they can still be "reconstructed". After all, frogs
The clan does not have as advanced technology as the Federation Empire, so it is difficult to develop something like a high-end medical cabin.
However, the Steel Mane people are not re-created, but are born with this alloy constitution. After all, they live on metal, and the more metal they absorb, the stronger they become.
The reproductive capacity of the Frogman Country is second only to the Plunder World, and coupled with the long-term war with the Nox Empire, this consumption is quite large. The consumption of the Frogman Country mainly lies in various metals, so after all, it has to pay off.
Soldiers were remanufacturing, but due to backward technology, a huge waste of metal energy was caused. Many discarded metal scraps were dumped as garbage on the major planets in the Byron star field.
But what the Frogman Country sees as a garbage dump is actually a survival paradise for the Steelmane people. There is so much metal garbage here that they can’t use it all up. The Steelmane people took root here and slowly established a country, and the Steelmane people’s
The development ability is not bad at all. In just a few years, the establishment of the Steelmane Empire was announced, and the Frogman Kingdom did not interfere with it, because the international situation was there, and everyone was not a fool, and everyone was focused on Wo
Chalk galaxy.
The rivalry between the Nox Empire and the Frogman Nation in the Wochu Galaxy is well known. The empire's attitude on this land will never give in. In addition to issues of interest, there are also conflicts in civilization and ideology, because in the human world
From a human perspective, the Frogman Nation has done a great deal of damage to the resources of the Wochu Galaxy, and many rare metals have been wasted by them.
But now, the wasted resources have been used by the Steelmane Empire, and the Steelmane Empire has also tasted the benefits, and continues to send military forces to the war zone to assist the Frogman Kingdom in fighting for territory.
The Steel Mane Men themselves are powerful enough. Many of the Empire's conventional weapons are of no use against the Steel Mane Soldiers. Moreover, the Steel Mane Soldiers are brave and adept at fighting, and are not afraid of death. They are even more terrifying when grouped into a group. This is not something that the Empire's ground forces can handle.
, now the front-line war zone of the Nuoxing Empire has retreated by more than 20 billion kilometers. If this continues, the Wochu Galaxy will completely become a joint residence of frogs and savages...
The spacecraft slowly landed on the spacious apron. There was already a shuttle waiting on the side. Ding Meng couldn't help but laugh when he saw this shuttle. He remembered the shuttle that came to Lao Yu's house to buy big wheat on the TT12 planet.
The trailer looks like a rectangular iron box with a crystal source power system at the bottom. This is clearly a product of the Nox Empire. I don’t know where these steel-maned people got it.
However, what was contained in the tin box was not wheat, but a group of people, not steel-maned people, but real human beings. They all seemed to be injured, and they were all huddled in the carriage and unable to move.
"What are you looking at? Come up!" A steel-maned soldier next to him gave Ding Meng a shove.
Ding Meng noticed that the soldier's hair was very long and dark red in color. He was obviously a real steel-maned warrior. He was holding a 1.5-meter large war hammer in his hand. The war hammer seemed to be made of high-grade aluminum and titanium alloy. What is this weapon like?
What do you mean? It can even block the attacks of conventional weapons such as human photoelectric guns and energy guns. This shows that the Steel Mane Empire is not very good in other aspects, but it is quite good in the transformation and utilization of metal.
The shuttle drove directly into the depths of the desert. After shaking for about five hours, a huge mountain range flashing with various colors appeared in front of us.
Ding Meng couldn't help but be surprised when he took a closer look. He found that this was not a real mountain range, but a giant garbage mountain composed of various discarded metal debris. The overall height was no less than 500 meters, and the highest point was simply towering into the sky.
As for the length of the cloud, the telepathic field of vision can't even see the end of it, at least it stretches for more than ten kilometers.
After narrowing the scope of his mental vision, he discovered that there were dense passages and caves inside and underground of the mountain range. At least thousands of humans and Steelmane tribesmen were excavating, collecting, and transporting...
There is a huge artificially built square under the mountain. There is a three-story black building similar to the Pentagon on the square. It was not until the shuttle entered the square that Ding Meng smelled the indescribable weird smell emanating from the entire mountain.
, that smell is produced by countless kinds of metal scraps, corpse hair, chemical raw materials, waste water and other garbage. It is not only pungent and unpleasant, but also contains a lot of harmful substances.
Even people like Ding Meng couldn't help but feel nauseous and vomiting when they first smelled this smell, and even had a stinging sensation in their eyes.
The little bad guy sighed: "After a long circle, it seems we are back at the 'Black Gold Base' again."
Ding Meng nodded, and his mental vision instantly collected all kinds of information captured. It was not difficult to guess what kind of place this was.
After the trailer stopped, Ding Meng and his group were driven by the soldier to a hall on the first floor of the Pentagon. The hall was very simple. In addition to a group of red-haired soldiers, there was also a middle-aged man with blue hair.
Young people, in the Steel Mane Empire, blue-haired people like this are elite warriors. One elite warrior is enough to compete with many high-level human warriors.
And this elite warrior is the old Sam that Todqi calls, a human trafficker in this area. After Ding Meng and the others entered the hall, Old Sam whined a lot of words about the Steel Mane Kingdom. Anyway, other humans listened.
For those who don’t understand, luckily there is a human translator on site, constantly making gestures and explaining in an empathetic voice.
In fact, there is no need for the translator to explain. Dinmen understands the language of the Steel Mane Country. From Old Sam's speech, Dinmen has already figured out what kind of ghost place this is. The full name of this place is "Akashina Garbage".
"Mountain Prisoner of War Concentration Camp", all imperial soldiers captured in the war zone will be sent here to be imprisoned.
The Steelmane Empire is different from the Frogman Kingdom. They don't want to offend the Nuo Star Empire too much, so they usually don't execute prisoners of war, but send them to garbage mountains to "hunt for treasure". To put it bluntly, they collect metal resources.
Some prisoners of war have such special identities that they can be used as bargaining chips by the Steel Mane Empire to negotiate terms of exchange with the Nox Empire.
In addition to prisoners of war, this place also exiles inferior residents of the Steel Mane Country. The so-called inferior residents are actually the same as the inferior people of the Federation. They have lost their growth opportunities due to congenital deformities for various reasons. In order not to waste resources, they are directly sent to
Come to the garbage mountain and work with the prisoners of war.
This concentration camp is basically an upgraded version of the "Black Gold Base". It stands to reason that this place is also owned by the Steel Mane Nation's military. Because the national finances were too tight, the concentration camp was contracted to private operations, and there was the so-called Old Sam.
of human traffickers.
Veterans in villages like Todqi are often interstellar vendors. If they get valuable items or prisoners of war, they can usually sell them to concentration camps in exchange for money, metals or resources to support the daily lives of the tribe.
needs.
Of course, this concentration camp is better than the black gold base in that it does not restrict personal freedom. You can go wherever you want. No one restricts you, but the premise is that you have the ability to protect yourself. If you wander in and bump into the kid,
If someone's life is involved, Old Sam and other base managers will not be held responsible.
Glancing at the garbage mountain opposite, Ding Meng couldn't help but sigh. This Acasina Concentration Camp is actually much more dangerous than the Black Gold Base. The underground mining area of the Black Gold Base is just a little darker and damper, but the metal scraps inside this garbage mountain are all.
As sharp as swords, they are piled up together, making excavation more than ten times more difficult. Whether they are humans or steel-maned residents, if they are not careful, they will suffer severe head injuries and death. This time, they have come to a dangerous place again.
